It’s an exciting time to be a Sonic fan.
Sonic Frontiers took the series in a bold new direction by introducing open-world platforming.
you’re free to play both of these incredible titles no matter which console you own.
Here are the best underrated Sonic The Hedgehog games!
Here’s the catch: buying two full-priced video games isn’t exactly great for your wallet.
If you have to pick one, which should you go with?
Do Generations' linear levels hold a candle to Frontiers' ambitious new gameplay style?
And just how good is Shadow’s new campaign?
Get ready for a battle of the hedgehogs!
Additionally, both games feature excellent writing from Sonic legend Ian Flynn.
But which title has the best combination of plot, character development, and world-building?
So, which game is more fun to play?
Sonic X Shadow Generations' Gameplay
Sonic X Shadow Generations has a little something for everyone.
Finally, Shadow’s open-ended overworld feels like a streamlined version of Frontier’s open-zone layout.
Thankfully, each gameplay style feels refined and fun to play.
In short, the boost-style gameplay has never felt better, andeach level is a blast to play.
Sonic the Hedgehog has had a few different versions of the years.
Which is the most powerful?
The sheer amount of freedom is nothing short of exhilarating.
And that’s not to mention the game’s sometimes iffy performance.
I especially love the Super Sonic boss fights in Frontiers.
They contain a bit of button-mashing, but they’re epic nonetheless.
Shadow’s open-world exploration, in particular, is much more refined and performs better than Frontiers.
But which ones complement the gameplay best?
Shadow, on the other hand, getsa slew of exciting new powersto aid with combat and platforming.
Each ability is unlocked after beating a zone, providing a satisfying sense of progression.
More importantly, each power feels like a natural extension of Shadow’s base moveset.
Shadow has grown into much more than just the darker version of Sonic.
Plus, many of these new powers require a bunch of button-mashing.
Sonic’s campaign is just as good as when it initially launched in 2011.
Meanwhile, Shadow’s story perfects the boost-style gameplay from the original Generations and the open-world exploration from Frontiers.
To be clear, Sonic Frontiers is by no means a bad game.
Simply put, Frontiers walked so that Shadow Generations could run.
However, if you have to pick one, Sonic X Shadow Generations is the best choice.
